Samsung Members is a Samsung app that brings Galaxy device checks, troubleshooting, support, community discussions, tips, and region-specific benefits together. To check a phone or tablet, open Samsung Members, find Diagnostics under Discover or Support, then select a test or the full test option and follow the prompts. The available menus and checks vary by device, software version, and country.
What Samsung Members does
Samsung Members is a support and self-help app for Galaxy users. Depending on where you live and which device you use, it can provide device diagnostics, official troubleshooting articles and FAQs, expert-support routes, community discussions, product news, tips, and local offers or events. Samsung describes the app as a starting point for Galaxy users, but not every feature appears in every region or on every model. Samsung’s app overview describes its core features.
- Diagnostics: Screen selected phone or tablet functions for potential problems.
- Troubleshooting: Find Samsung solutions, notices, tips, and support content.
- Error reports: Send Samsung details about a problem, with optional attachments and system logs.
- Community: Search discussions, ask questions, and share peer advice. Community posts are user discussion, not official Samsung instructions.
- Benefits and updates: See news, tips, events, or offers that may be specific to your country.
How to run diagnostics on a Galaxy phone or tablet
Samsung’s US support instructions cover diagnostics on Galaxy phones and tablets. The precise screen layout, menu names, and available tests can differ by model and software version. If you do not see the same path, check both Discover and Support.
Free tools Windows power users keep installed
One-click scans. No signup required.
- Open Samsung Members on your Galaxy device. If it is not installed, Samsung’s US instructions say to download it from Galaxy Store or Google Play.
- Tap Discover or Support, then locate Diagnostics. The route shown depends on the app version and device.
- Choose the individual check you want, or select Test all if that option is available.
- Follow each on-screen prompt. Some checks require you to perform an action, such as pressing a button or testing a feature.
- Review the result and any suggested troubleshooting steps or related FAQ.
Samsung lists checks that can include battery status, camera, microphone, speaker, charging, connectivity, and sensors, as well as NFC, network, proximity, buttons, Bluetooth, USB, touch screen, and Wi-Fi. Your device may show only a subset. Diagnostics for supported connected devices, including some Galaxy watches and Buds, may also appear.

For Samsung’s current US diagnostic guidance and examples of available checks, see Samsung Members: Diagnostics and other features.
What a diagnostic result can—and cannot—tell you
A diagnostic is a troubleshooting aid that checks selected functions and may help identify a potential issue. A passed check does not guarantee that the device is fault-free, and the app is not a complete hardware inspection. A failed check may lead to a suggested action or related FAQ. If the problem continues, use Samsung support or a service option available in your region rather than treating the app result as a repair diagnosis. Samsung’s diagnostic guidance and US support site outline those next steps.

How to report a problem to Samsung
If a Galaxy feature is behaving unexpectedly, an error report can give Samsung details to review. Menu labels may differ, but Samsung’s instructions place the reporting workflow under Support.
Recommended Free Tools
- In Samsung Members, open Support and choose Error reports.
- Select the category that best matches the issue.
- Describe what happened, including the steps that led to it and whether the problem is repeatable.
- Attach an image or voice recording if it helps explain the issue. These attachments are optional.
- Choose whether to include system log data, then submit the report.
You can later review a submitted report in the app’s feedback area. Samsung’s Members support instructions explain error reporting and feedback. If the app itself will not open or you cannot submit a report, use the Samsung support website or another local service channel.

Finding solutions, community advice, and expert help
Search Samsung’s troubleshooting content
Samsung Members can surface official solutions, FAQs, notices, news, and tips. In the US instructions, Samsung describes searching Discover content and filtering results by categories such as solutions, notices, news and tips, users, and community. Use official Samsung support material for device instructions and policies; a community result is a peer discussion.
Use community discussions for shared experience
Community threads can help you find whether other users have encountered a similar symptom or workaround. Treat suggestions as user experience rather than confirmed guidance, especially when they involve resetting a device, changing settings, or handling a possible hardware fault. Samsung’s Members overview describes the community and support features.

Move to support or service when needed
If a check fails, the issue persists, or the app cannot test the affected function, use the expert-support, remote-help, or service options displayed in your local app. Those channels and their availability vary by country. Samsung’s US support site is at samsung.com/us/support; choose your own region’s Samsung site if you are elsewhere.
Why your Samsung Members app may look different
- Country: Benefits, events, expert help, and service routes can vary by region.
- Device and software: Diagnostic tests, supported connected devices, and screen layout depend on the model and software version.
- App version: Samsung’s instructions place Diagnostics under Discover or Support, so one path may not match your installed app.
If a feature is missing, check both Discover and Support and consult Samsung’s local support content for your model. Do not assume that another Galaxy owner’s menu or test list will be identical.
